There have been no bad holiday episodes that I can recall, but there have definitely been no bad Thanksgiving episodes, so I'm pretty excited that this one also sounds like it can't miss.

Hey, so a little bit of an out of left field sort of question. In the orchard episode Louise does the doy doy noise to impress everyone. Is this something that kids from a specific region in America do? When I google 'doy doy noise', I only get the streamer Jerma985 doing it, and Louise also explains how to do it the exact same way he does. So is this an inexplicable streamer reference? Streamer in question https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSSXEa6BcdI

I always thought of it as a variant of duh, didn't think it was limited to the Northeast.

I probably said this before some time in the last couple years, but how come this isn’t a joint thread for Bob’s and The Great North? They always air together and are equally good and the same comedic style. Do y’all not watch The Great North? You should!

The last few epsjodes they have gone off the rails and I say that in a good way. The family court episode was great.

It's always a risk when you make the crux of the humor "aren't these people lame?" It mostly doesn't land for me but some bits do hit, possibly because of the lowered expectations.

Lame people can be funny, it might come down to the general reasons why they are considered lame. I think Tina works pretty well because she has some strange interests and not enough social skills to know when to keep them to herself. Bob has been getting on my nerves lately though. It feels like he has to always make the worst financial decisions possible for the sake of it.

Bob only makes bad financial decisions when Linda eggs him on to do it. Linda is the problem. Tbc: it’s the writers’ fault to write Linda that way.

Bob is afraid of success. I'm pretty sure he's straight up said so more than once.

His old friend voiced by Chris Parnell showed up, giving Bob 100k. But, also started making changes, like tiki-fying The Restaurant. Which stressed Bob out, because he didn't have control over the one thing he could claim as his own. Also, Gene pees in a rainboot. Episode Pro Tiki/Con Tiki

I don't mind Great North chat, I'm impressed it's escaped the Fox Cartoon graveyard 9: Show Mama From the Grave Bob takes Linda and the kids to visit his mother's grave, but finding the headstone is harder than he expected; Teddy makes a grave mistake while doing repairs in the Belcher's house.

The series finale will be the restaurant becoming successful without Bob having to change anything and the family falling apart because capitalism.

I’ll try it out for a week or two and stop if I’m just taking up space The Great North 309 - Bee’s All That Adventure Kima and her family host a very surprising visitor during Lone Moose's "lower-48" exchange student week. Ham fails to care for a cactus.

My favorite episode is Bob stuck on the toilet. It was nice he had the community gather around him, and him getting national attention. Even if they didn't eat a burger. Skip believes in Bob.

Stuff with Bob's mom always comes across as very melancholy since it is clear that Bob has never quite gotten over her death.

Mickey was a bank robber in a very early episode voiced by Bill Hader who then became a recurring character working at Wonder Wharf. For whatever reason Hader stopped doing the voice and it was a really obvious change plus Loren’s fill-in voice (which as people have said was a last-minute thing) was not great. I can’t remember what the new guy sounds like

Hader also played Big Bob a few times, though the first time was done by H. Jon Benjamin in a flashback. It was a good version of Big Bob! The new guy is alright. Not as off as Mickey was. I'm just a little bummed that they can't get Hader anymore.

I'm glad the show is still on and hasn't slipped in quality too much. I've always viewed this as the perfect "comfort food" show. You know exactly what you're going to get and they never stray from that... but almost to a fault. After all this time I really wish they would have experimented with the formula and changed things up even a little. For instance, something that has bugged me for a while is how they always stray away from an emotional moment. The most you typically get is a quick "aww". The Simpsons, in it's heyday, was never afraid to go for the emotional gut punch now and then that would genuinely leave you teary-eyed. In the recent cemetery episode, Bob finally confronting his mother's grave was the perfect moment for something like this, but instead he says "hi Mom" and we cut away to a Gene fart joke afterward. Oddly, the only two genuinely emotional moments from the show I can recall from recent memory are both Teddy episodes - the comet one from this season with a surprisingly emotionally charged discussion about life between Bob and Teddy, and I think last season where Bob goes on a road trip with Teddy. Anyone else dislike any episode where each kid gets an episode act to tell their version of a story and we see their vision animated? The first few were okay, but it seems like they do a handful of these every season and now I find them grating. It's like this is their go-to crutch to change up the formula, but they themselves are formulaic. Gene's segment will be silly, Tina's will be weird, and Louise's will be cool/edgy. These often come off as "monkey cheese" humor to me. Something else that's been bothering me is how H. Jon Benjamin has morphed Bob's voice over the years. Earlier on it was just HJB's typical voice albeit less angry than say, Coach McGurk or Archer, but gradually he's morphed it into Bob being completely unsure of every single thing he says. So almost any time Bob speaks now it's like every word is recorded individually. "Well... perhaps... maybe... um... we.. could... not... do that." Maybe it fits better with how his character has evolved, but it also gets on my nerves. Sorry for all the negativity. Show's still good, just wanted to air some grievances lol.

I was the same age Bart was when the Simpsons launched(I'm an old) and I thought it was super cool how he would grow up at the same rate as me. Now I'm older then Homer and very mad about it.
